Switzerland’s Sister Distribution Boards ‘The Indies’ From ‘They Will Be Dust’ Producers: ’It’s Not Character-Driven but Image-Driven’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Article excerpt

Sister Distribution, an established Swiss production company, is teaming up with Spain's Lastor Media to produce "The Indies," a period road movie, after their previous collaboration on the Toronto-winning film "They Will Be Dust." The new project will be showcased as a work-in-progress at the ECAM Forum co-production market in Madrid (June 9, 11), where Sister Distribution takes on a majority producer role alongside Lastor. The filmmakers describe their approach as "image-driven" rather than character-driven, signaling a visual emphasis for the period piece.
